Description:

Version 2.2.*

Ever wanted to play a devouring horde of galactic locusts, that sweep across the galaxy leaving nothing but burnt-out husks in their wake? Or how about just playing as wasteful, environmentally unfriendly consumerists who push their worlds beyond their limits in order to get an edge?

Overharvest adds a new policy option, Sustainability, with three possible settings, that can be used by both you and the AI:

• Sustainable Development

  No bonuses or penalties.
  Only option available to Environmentalists or Conservational species.

• Overharvesting

  +10% Food/Energy/Minerals
  Creates an unremovable blocker that reduces habitability & Food/Energy/Minerals production on each planet on average once every 25 years.
  Default policy for Nomadic or Wasteful species

• Extreme overharvesting

  +25% Food/Energy/Minerals
  Creates an unremovable blocker that reduces habitability & Food/Energy/Minerals production on each planet on average once every 10 years.
  Default policy for Nomadic, Wasteful species

Once a planet has 20 blockers, the next time it would get one it instead switches to an uninhabitable world/broken ringworld section/destroyed habitat, and the pops on it flee to other planets.

After a while, you’ll have plenty of near-useless planets hanging around, so the mod also adds two technologies to help you hurry the process along:

• Planetary Liquidation

  Requires Geothermal Fracking.
  Adds a decision that gives +20% Food/Energy/Minerals, but creates a blocker every year.

• Accelerated Planetary Liquidation

  Improves Planetary Liquidation to +50%/creates a blocker every 6 months.

The AI will use these on any planets with more than 10 Overharvest blockers.
